Terminated - 12/21/19 ~ AG Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes (9/1/19)

Wow! once they started they really zoomed up there!

[Shawn]

Yes.  N ow I just need to weed it down to one.  I will do that over the weekend unless you think it is ok to do it now.

If it were my garden I would do it now before roots are long. but you can always take them out now by gently tugging and planting in potting soil for indoors. I have done that successfully! Otherwise just use a pair of scissors and snip away!

[Shawn]

Off to snip

[Shawn]

This was the strongest and healthiest.  Also had the best looking stem.

[thegrindre]

Well Done. Looking good there.

That stem will get as big as your little finger and be very strong.

[Shawn]

Nutes given

This morning


                      

[thegrindre]

Oooooooooh, Yeah! Lookin' good.

[Shawn]

This morning....

I have NO CLUE what so ever as to when or where this should be topped.

[thegrindre]

That one tall 'sprout'/leaf should be topped down by it's base. NOT exactly at the apex of the stem but close.

You're wanting to do this BEFORE it flowers.

All else is fine for now.

Tomorrow I will take a better angle shot and Mark it up.  I will them post as to where to cut.

[Shawn]

Here are to pictures, one close up and the other further away.  Pick a number.  If you need a new mark up tell me where you would like the lines.   OR do I wait a little longer (It is 22 days today)?   

Thanks in advance.

[thegrindre]

It doesn't look like you should cut any of the ones you've marked.

Look at this shot. It's yours from above. That one long leaf needs to come off here.

[treebeard]

This is my first time growing tomatoes in an aerogarden, but I'm going to wait to prune mine until 4-5 weeks, above the fifth branch as aerogarden suggests. So in your case, I wouldn't prune anything yet.

[Shawn]

Well I counted the branches and cut above the 5th branch. (see below, the purple line)

And here it is topped (top and side views)

Looking mighty Fine!

[Shawn]

It may be my imagination but it looks like it also grew some more too.

[thegrindre]

There ya go. Looking good.

Don't forget to move your light back down. I forget sometimes. LOL
